I just wanted to say hi, and that I climbed this weekend...not anything super crazy like I climbed half dome or El Cap.

"So, today, we drove like, straight to the valley to climb the Half Dome. It was totally cool. We did this rad 5.7 called The Lesbian Snake and it was totally rad. I totally had to, like, shit in a bag on the way up and it was like, the most crazy thing I've ever done. Rock climbing is tubular."

As at least one other person suggested: read the other TR's. Read some of the TRs on Supertopo.com. Take note of what makes the good ones interesting and worth spending time to read. Don't write minimal crap that makes people feel like they wasted their time reading it.

argh, sorry for giving you shit, eh? i guess this is the dark side of the welcoming committee...

photos are key for me in a trip report - lots of nice shots are the difference between one i skim and one i sit and drool over. a bit of a story about the trip there, climbs done, falls, injuries, screwups, epics. all good!
